Step into a gripping detective adventure in "Unsolved Case: Whispers of Elderwick", where eerie visions and buried memories lead the way. In this haunting tale of hidden object games, you must find hidden objects to uncover secrets behind a quiet village murder. Dive into intense crime investigation games blended with atmospheric item search games, as Mavis Donahue follows cryptic clues, unsettling letters, and shadowy figures to expose a truth darker than anyone imagined. When a terrified scream shatters the evening calm of your sleepy English village, you - Mavis Donahue, a sharp-witted retiree with a knack for glimpsing echoes of the past - are swept into a deadly countryside mystery. A neighbor is found murdered, unsettling letters begin to circulate, and a shadowy figure lurks around porches and lace-curtained windows after dusk. As tension seeps through the cobbled lanes, Mavis and Detective Marcus Partridge pursue the culprit from warm, teapot-scented kitchens to padlocked greenhouses, shuttered corner shops, and moonlit cottage gardens where foxes aren’t the only ones prowling. What first appears to be a tragic misfortune soon unravels into something far more deliberate: forged threats, pilfered post, a dubious “development company”… and a killer determined to bleed the village dry, one stubborn resident at a time. · A Village Full of Secrets Immerse yourself in a chilling detective adventure filled with twists, where classic hidden object games mechanics challenge you to find hidden objects across eerie locations.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Unsolved Case at 4.3 against Crime Scenes's 3.1. Unsolved Case also leads on ratings volume (92 vs 27). Crime Scenes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crime Scenes sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Unsolved Case sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Unsolved Case holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 92 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Crime Scenes's written reviews are positive against 25% of Unsolved Case's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
